Pleasures Of Eating

In his essay on aThe Pleasures Of
Eating" Count Rumford says: @The
pleasure enjoyed in eating depends
first, on the agreeableness Of The taste
Of the food; and, secondly, upon its
power TO affect the palate. Now, there
are many substances extremely cheap
by which very agreeable tastes may be
given to food, particularly when the
basis or nutritive substance Of the food
is tasteIess; and the effect OF any kind
Of palatable food (of meat, for instance)
upon the organs Of taste, may be in
creased almost indefinitely by reducing
the size Of the particles of such food,
and causing il to act upon the palate by
q larger surface. And If means be used
TO prevent it's being swallowed too soon
which may easily be done BY mixing
it with some hard and tasteless sub
stance, such as crumbs of bread rem
dered hard by toasting, or anything else
of the kind, by which long mastication
is rendered necessary the enjoyment
OF eating may be greatly increased and
prolonged" he adds that "the idea Of
occupying person q great while, and
affording him much pleasure at the
same time, in eating small quantity of
food, may pArhaps appear ridiculous TO
some; bat those who consider the mat

CoRMoRANT FISHING.
How tho Chin Csc Make Use OF the Greedi
est Bird In Existence.

How the Chin csc Make Use OF the Greedi-
est Bird In Existence.
In China tame cormorants are trained
to fish for their masters. Rev. Justis
Doolittle thus describes the process of
cormorant fishing:
1.-THE fisherman who has charge of
the cormorants stands upon raft Of
bamboo poles very light, and propelled
by paddle. A basket is placed on it
to contain the fish. Each raft has three
or four cormorants connected with il.
When not fishing they crouch down
stupidity ON the raft. The fisherman.
when he wishes to make cormorant
fish, pushes or throws it off the raft
into the water. If it is not disposed at
once to dive and seek for fish. he some-
times strikes it, so that it is glad to
dive and get out of his reach.
"When it has caught fish. it rises
to the surface, holding it in its mouth.
and apparently striving to swallow it.
A string tied loosely Al ound its neck,
or metallic ring, etfectually prevents
swallowing, except, perhaps, in the
case of very small fish. 1t usually swims
directly for the raft. The fisherman,
when near enough. dexterously passes
IL net-like bag, fast sned to the end Of a
pole, over the two, and draws them
both on tho raft. He then forces tho
fish from tho grasp Of the bird. and, as
If to reward the latter for its success.
gives 1t monthful of food, which 1t is
enabled to swallow, on his raising the
ring from the lower part of its neck.
The bird, If apparently tired out, is
allowed to rest awhile on the raft. and
then it is pushed of again into the
water, and made to dive and hunt for
fish as before. Sometimes one bird will
hasten to the assistance Of another
which has canght large fish which he
may be unable to master; the bird will
help his comrsde to carry his prize to
the raft, and then fly back and resums
lts own labors. "-Yosth's Companion

THE GRAY SQUIRREL.

Some Habits OF This Interesting Member
OF the Rodent Family.
Although the gray squirrel lays up
some store of nuts for the winter, he is
not very provident housekeeper. and
enjoys his food rs lie gets it. He sleeps
through the rugged weather in some
hollow branch or tree trunk, but the
warm winter sunshine will sometimes
lure him out even when the snow is
lying on the hills. Still he is not wholly
inprovident, as the empty nutshells
about his winter quarters testify. His
character as Il poacher is not above sus-
picion, and many a birds nest is riHcd
of both eggs and downy young when
they fall in the way of his ran,bles.
A rather remarkable feature in the
life OF the gray squirrel is the irregular
migratory movement which numbers OF
them make ut various times, more
especially in the fall of the year. For
many years the gray squirrels may be
scarce in many sections Of tho country.
when all at once some fine autumn
morning the woods and trees were over
run with them. Broad rivers offer nc
barrier to their progress; mountain
ranges are crossed aud whole areas OF
woodland are given over to them.
These occasional migrations are very
similar to the irregular movements OF
lemming, q ratlike animal of Northern
Europe, which Mt times sweeps over
the country in vast hordes. devouring
every green thing in their path. A
tract Of country through which such 9
migration has passed is often com
pletely devastated. But happily tho mi
grations of our squirrel are not on SC
large u scale or so frequent, and thu
crops do not suffer greatly. The paus'
Of these movements is undoubtedly ,
scarcity Of food compelling them Il
leave, and under . common impulse
they unite In ono great body and mi

TAR AND PETROLEUM.
Their Preserving Eject ON Fence Posts
Made of Various Woods.

Their Preserving Eject ON Fence Fosto
Made of Various Woods.
Gas tar has been good thing in pre-.
serving all kinds of wood at the Iowa
Agricultural College, since the spring
of 1882. The same may be said of
petroleum and tar together. Petroleum
alone seemed to have little or no effect;
as many posts treated with this appli-
cation went down as where nothing
mad been applied. Tar applied alone
makes better showing than where the
posts were tarred after being painted
with petroleum. Posts painted first and
then tarred did not absorb the tar. 1t
merely formed coating on the outside
Of the petroleum and was considerably
scaled off. When the unpaintcd post
was immersed in the boiling tar it
was observed that the tar had pene-
trated the wood one-eighth or one
fourth of an inch, thus forming
coat that could not scale. Pc
troleum did no good when applied
alone. and harm when preceding tho
use OF tar. Tarring is estimated TO
cost two cents per post. Just how
many years 1t will lengthcn the time OF
usefulness of a post Of each of the diff
ferent kinds of wood would be of in
terest could sufficient data be collected
to show. Only estimates from appear
anccs of posts can be given OF how long
they will stand. Eastwood posts will
not last on an average more than two
and half years If they have merely
been cut and cured before setting. Tar
will probably not make them average
more than year longer The soft
maple posts are all gone, and are evi-
IDENTIFY the poorest OF all kinds used.
The use Of tar will preserve white will
low on an average of five years, while
without tar they will average but three
or four, as indicated by the posts hero
observed. Tar seems to be of great
use in preserving posts, and will. doubt
less. be of greatest value in preserving
good woods, rather than in increasing
the length Of time the poor posts will
stand. The experiment rather proves
that the cost is greater than the profit
where the application is to Eastwood
and willow. What the profit will be
shown to be in the case OF cedar and
oak posts, not enough time has elapsed
as yet to indicate. Farm and Home.
